I believe this also breaks the game, in the sense it cannot be finished since you cannot touch the appropriate items ? If so, this game is not just "slow" based on the wiki, it is also "incompletely" compatible.

Yes, that's correct. There is no way to progress in the game, basically from the very start of gameplay.

first I'd like to express my gratitude for bringing out an DS emulator that despite it's early stage is already that far advanced !
Unfortunatly I have to report some "drop outs":
Both Crazy Machines and Crazy Machines Two (probably using the same engine) crash directly after starting the first experiment with the green "play button" in the bootom right corner.
The Simpons Game: the gfx of Homer on the Couch is distorted and after exiting the couch scene the game crashes
Rebirth Pandora @850 MHz, European, "fresh" dumps, unzipped.
@Exophase
Do you plan on adding additional scalers or even filters in the Future - scaled up New Super Mario Bros in single screen mode does not look very nice.
Also, would it be possible to additionally map save and load to the '1' and '2' keys on the Pandora ? Other emulators implement this behaviour and so I'm already "trained" to do it that way. It also would decrease the often critized non unformity of key bindings in emulators.

By the way, I updated wikipedia to reflect Exophase's release:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_emulation#DraStic
Feel free to make changes or add information/video links. It's a great occasion to showcase the work done.

Ah lala. I knew I would get something wrong and mixed up. Thanks!the main author of PicoDrive is notaz ... Expohase is the main author of GPSP
Don't worry about key bindings.
It's a first release and I think it'll be improved a lot in further releases.
Go Exo go

@ekianjo & the other compatibility wikipage authors:
How about removing Model & Notes columns and adding a column per Model - maybe even two columns for the same model but with different cpu clock values ? Example:
Mario Kart DS "Runs but very slow (3d). May be working much better on 1Ghz." with a Rebirth Model @ 600 MHz - I tested it with 850 MHz , and it is far from beeing fullspeed, but it isn't very slow either - the sound is choppy, but the game can be played "fluidly" enough to call it playable.

If you add a column per Model, it will make the info very crowded and confusing. What if something runs full speed at 1Ghz and not at 600 Mhz, should the line be green or yellow? There is only so much information you can compress in one line, I would rather have several lines for the same game tested in different conditions. A line should, imho, represent the result of a SINGLE test.

Lowest playable MHz should be reported. For now i test on my CC@930 because it's only the first release, so playing with MHz is meaningless.

At this stage, yes, 100 % agree with you. For the moment the point is to identify what works and what does not work.
What is this Phoenix Wright problem? I'm playing "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney" (or however it is spelled) and has had no problems so far (solved the first case, finished staking out the crime scene and a bit more in the second)?
Nevermind, found post earlier in thread.

Super Mario 64 DS is incompatible, crashes when trying to start the first level (works well up until that point, except some graphical glitches with shadows)
